The two teams Giants feared would take Daniel Jones in NFL draft

Dave Gettleman is convinced he has company in his firm belief in Daniel Jones.

The Giants general manager, who has been ridiculed for using the No. 6 overall pick on the Duke quarterback, said Saturday, upon the draft’s conclusion, that he knows “for a fact” two teams would not have allowed Jones to fall to the Giants’ No. 17 overall pick.

Those two teams, according to SNY: the Redskins and Broncos.

Both clearly were in the market for a quarterback, though Washington owner Daniel Snyder reportedly was infatuated with Dwayne Haskins, whom the Redskins picked at 15.
